More fun and inexpensive items to add to your science discovery kit can be found at the grocery store or dollar store! I love to have items like rulers, large calculators, turkey basters, plastic cups, small containers, squirt bottles, and balloons on hand! These items can make scientific investigations and experiments much more fun and aide in simple and quick set up of so many cool science experiments!
A turkey baster, measuring cups, small plastic ramekins, extra eye droppers {grocery store pharmacy}, funnels, and squirt bottles make great science and fine motor tools!

The finishing touch to add to your science discovery kit is the proper outfit your young scientist. This includes a pair of safety goggles and a white lab coat. Our favorite primary science lab kit{above} includes a set of safety goggles, but you can grab extra pairs at the hardware store. For our lab coat, I have been using one of my husband’s old white dress shirts. You can always stop at a second hand store to stock up! Science can get messy!
Pack up your science discovery kit is a sturdy plastic tote for a clutter free gift kids will love! This simple science kit is also a great family gift for multiple kids. Just add the extra goggles, lab coats, and eye droppers for everyone to get in on the action. Around here, the adults love to experiment too.
